The preliminary investigation reveals the two deceased victims had just turned right onto Kirby Road from Tinkers Creek Drive when they were struck by the second vehicle. That vehicle had been traveling westbound on Kirby Road. Preliminarily, it appears that the second vehicle had crossed the center line on Kirby Road in order to pass two cars which had slowed down to let the victim’s car turn onto Kirby Road. When the second involved vehicle moved backed into the westbound lane, it struck the victim’s car.
